Notes to Members on the Third Ordinary Resolution
1. The 2-year Single Tier trial has continued in a positive manner and bowls operations and supervision continue to be effectively managed by the Bowls Co-Ordinator and other Management staff employed by the Club.
2. The amount of costs incurred as shown in the Club’s accounting records for State Pennant finals for 2024 was $15,279 (2023 was $7,848).
3. The trading statement for Bowls as shown in the accounting records reveals a deficit of $308,209 ($241,027 in 2023). It is emphasised that this figure includes direct costs only and costs for occupancy, light and power, administration, workers compensation and general insurances, depreciation, and other overheads (‘indirect costs’) are excluded.
4. Commencing this year the ATO requires “Not for Profit” entities including Registered Clubs who self-assess as tax exempt to lodge a self-review return requiring comprehensive financial and other information to support the Clubs determination that it the meets the tax exemption provisions under section 50-45 of the Income Tax Assessment Act. The Club needs to satisfy three tests, namely, it cannot be carried on for the purpose of profit or gain to individual members, it must exist for the encouragement of a game or sport and the encouragement must be the Club’s main purpose in accord with the requirements contained within Tax Ruling 2022/2.
The assessment of the main purpose test requires the subjective determination and apportionment of the indirect costs of bowls. The precise amount will be concluded for the tax year ending 30 June 2024. However, at this time on a reasonable conservative estimate, indirect costs of bowls activities exceed $300,000.
Accordingly, the board has determined that the Club satisfies all of the criteria and conditions to uphold the tax exemption.
5. The adoption of this ordinary resolution authorises for the provision of certain benefits, to be provided subject to the discretion of the Board and or the CEO.
6. It is essential to remember that all monies held by the unincorporated Bowling Sub-Clubs remain the property and responsibility of the Club.
7. The adoption of this resolution by the Members meets the requirements of the Clubs Constitution, the Corporations Act 2001, and the Registered Clubs Act 1976.

Introduction
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Chris King
all of our pennant players throughout the season.
I hope this report finds you safe and well. This is my ninth report as Chairman of our wonderful Club and each year has brought new challenges and opportunities that have inspired my colleagues and I to continue to achieve our vision of being the best lawn bowls and entertainment venue on the Mid North Coast.
I welcome all new members and again thank our loyal members for supporting us over the past year, particularly given cost of living pressures and during our current renovations.
Vale
I would like to pass on the Board’s sincere condolences to the family and friends of members who have passed away over the last 12 months.
Bowls
This year saw the continuation of the single tier trial with our Bowls Co-ordinator in collaboration with the advisory committee (which includes one of our directors) doing a fantastic job in putting on events to encourage new members and increase participation levels.
Congratulations to all bowlers for playing the game in the spirit for which it is intended and choosing our Club to play your sport.
Congratulations to the Men’s Grade 1 and Women’s Grade 2 Pennant teams for reaching their respective state finals. Director Mick Hayes and I attended the Men’s event at Ettalong Bowling Club and among some of the best competition in the state these two teams did our Club proud. A fantastic achievement by them and by
I would also like to again thank the Travelling Bowlers for their contribution to the Club and the work that they do to support charities and other worthy causes.
We will continue to consider opportunities to increase bowler participation numbers, provide more game options to attract social members and visitors, assess the types of bowls surface best suited to our environment and which greens are best covered to maximise their usage in the medium to longer term. We are hearing your feedback on our greens and the locker rooms, and we are working with management to address and prioritise any necessary works. All aspects were considered in developing the Bowls Strategic Direction which I invite you to read and provide feedback.
Renovations and Development opportunity
At the time of this report, I am pleased to report that work to further renovate our Club is well underway. Including the demolition of both upstairs and downstairs areas, construction of the new administration offices and staff rooms, preparation for arrival and installation of the elevator and staircase and the commencement of construction of the new Non-Thinkers Bar. The next stage will involve the new upstairs restaurant, function room and private dining, extending the gaming area and construction of a new alfresco dining area adjacent to our Drift Restaurant.
While the contract for these works is earmarked for completion in early 2025 the builder, Joyce Constructions has indicated
that they will make every attempt to bring this date forward.
To assist in monitoring the progress of these works, including quality, time, and budget the Board has formed a Construction SubCommittee which includes three directors, CEO, architects, builders and quantity surveyor. This committee meets each fortnight to assess the works.
Our CEO is also regularly monitoring the impact of these renovations on members, their guests and visitors and taking corrective action where possible. For instance, patrons would have noticed the additional point of sale for those wishing to order from the lounge menu and staff offering tray service for drink orders. This has minimised congestion at the bar and in Drift and we appreciate your ongoing patience.
These $9m works form part of our 10-year renovation and refurbishment program and requires significant financial investment as you will recall we embarked on a project to better utilise our carpark and seek a joint venture partner to redevelop this area while continuing to provide parking for our members and guests. Since my last report the Board has resolved to defer this project until the renovations are complete and other issues including car park zoning and taxation implications are resolved. The Board also felt that it did not want to over commit the Club financially by taking on too much, particularly in the current economic climate and the higher than originally expected renovation project cost.
We are still keen to maximise the potential of this area, but at minimum risk and will continue to work with our independent property experts to guide and assist us through this process and we will keep you informed on the progress of this major project.
PCYC
There has been a lot of noise surrounding the PCYC building and while I admit that I was a party to this noise, particularly its location, size, and impact on our car park I
am now becoming one of their advocates. Since the opening of the PCYC the Club has benefited, in terms of their members utilising our Clubs products and services. We have also been fortunate to have been offered the use of their rooms during our renovations. Our CEO will continue to work with the PCYC to forge a partnership of mutual benefit. This includes joint promotions to increase our Club visitation and junior bowls programs.
Membership
We now have around 13,500 social members and more than 370 bowling members as of July 2024 and I thank everyone for their support, particularly given the current cost of living pressures. Thanks again for your patience during the current renovations. Our goal is to continue to deliver quality products and services at the best possible price and make you proud to be a member and advocate for our Club.
Financials
I am pleased to report that the Club has managed to post an audited trading surplus of $720,916. I can also report that we are continuing to pay down the low interest loan we received from the Rural Assistance Authority. Our goal is still to continue to reduce and eliminate this loan at the earliest opportunity and to minimise borrowings while continuing to satisfy the needs of our members. We are also utilising some of our financial holdings for the first stage of our current renovations before drawing on any loan funds, which Westpac approved a facility of $6m.
Branding
While doing this we need to continue to build on our brand and our vision as being a locally owned family entertainment venue with excellent bowling facilities. Your Board is committed to continually reviewing and improving our products and services, examining opportunities to diversify our offering, improve our revenue stream, look at other revenue opportunities and ensure that we continue to meet if not exceed your expectations.
Visitors and other organisations also continue to acknowledge our Club and its staff. However, we always welcome your suggestions on how we can improve. The suggestion box, which we consistently review, is one way you can do this.
Community Support
While doing the above your Club has and will continue to support community groups though donations and the grants program. The Club provided more than $140,000 in ClubGrants during the year. The major beneficiaries being the Hastings Cancer Trust, Willing & Able Foundation, Self-Seen and Sailability. The Club also continued to support worthy causes, including Sister Marjorie’s Soup Kitchen, as well as local sporting groups, including the Hastings Valley Vikings Rugby Union Club and Port City Leagues Cricket Club. These sponsorships continue to prove to be successful with all parties benefiting from the arrangements.
Good Governance and Audit
Over the last year, the Board continued to pay particular attention to ensuring the Club retained its robust corporate governance practises. Including implementing the initiatives outlined in the Club’s strategic plan, Bowls Strategic Direction, developing, and reviewing key policies and placing greater rigor around risk and audit compliance.
I would also like to thank our auditors and I am pleased that we have again received an unqualified report for the past 12 months.
Management, Staff, and Board
I would like to take this opportunity to again thank our CEO David Gearing. David continues to prove to be a valuable addition to our Club through his initiative, drive, professionalism, commitment, and enthusiasm to get the best outcome for our members. Particularly all the work he and his team are done in getting us to this point with the renovations. He continues to promote our brand through his involvement in the local community and throughout the Club industry. Including continuing to benchmark
our services against similar sized Clubs and by again entering our Club into the local business awards and ClubsNSW Perfect Plate Competition. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful this year, but this has made us more determined to do better, especially with our new look Club, once completed.
David and his management team have navigated through a competitive environment, particularly in employing and retaining skilled staff but regardless the level of service from staff to our members continues to be at the highest level and the recognition they consistently receive is well deserved.
It would be remiss of me not to thank my Board of Directors for their support and the results they have achieved this year. A lot of time and effort goes into being a director, particularly in positioning us to meet current and future challenges. I would particularly like to thank Ralph Gibbons, who will not be seeking re-election this year. Ralph has been a valuable member of our team, particularly in the area of club operations, and will be sorely missed in the boardroom and we wish him well for the future.
Warm regards
Chris King Chairman
CEO’S REPORT
David
Gearing
It is with great pleasure that I present my 2024 report to you. At the outset, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your ongoing support of the Club throughout the past 12 months.
After the Board and I assessed the Club’s Master Plan for the future of the Club which included renovations to upgrade the back half of the Club and upstairs for a second restaurant. We sent a survey out to the members in 2023 to ask what the members would like. There was an overwhelming response that the members would have liked upgrades to the back half of the Club to complement the front half of the Club. The last 12 months for the Club has been full focus on the planning and implementation of the major renovations to the Main Bar and lounge, Non-Thinkers Bar and extension of this area to allow further seating and a viewing media wall for all sports, the relocation of the management administration offices to the rear of the first floor, extension of the gaming room to allow us to get the gaming machines in storage, back on the gaming floor and an upgrade to the bowls locker rooms. We have also spent a considerable amount of time designing the upstairs of the Club to introduce a new Function Room to the Club along with a brand new restaurant looking out over the amazing Oxley Beach. We commenced the works to the back of the Club in May with a finish date in March 2025. We are working very hard to try and get the downstairs finished earlier which would be great for the summer holidays. I am confident that the current renovations will make our Club the premier venue in Port Macquarie and I am very excited to bring the new Port City Bowling Club to its members in 2025. I would
also like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful members for your support to the Club through these times of renovation.
Our Club is proud to announce that we have continued to offer substantial support to our local community through various initiatives. In the past year, we have provided funding to several organisations such as the Willing & Able Foundations Renovation Centre, Hastings Cancer Trust, Rotary Club of Port Macquarie Sunrise, Hastings Valley Vikings, Sailability, and assistance to families impacted by the tragic Hunter Valley Bus incident. We were also delighted to provide financial assistance to the local Men’s mental health support group Self Seen. The project providing a psychologist for 10 hours a week to offer crucial care to participants unable to find a psychologist to speak with.
This psychologist also joins the Sunday walks and Men’s circles as a supportive resource in case anyone needs help when opening up to the group. In addition to financial support the Club has granted 30 community organisations with in-kind room hire support.
This backing has allowed these groups to host meetings and events in a professional and inviting setting, aiding them in better meeting the needs of our community.
The Hastings Valley Fine Art Association held their annual art prize exhibition in the Club in October which the Club supported with in kind funding. The opening event saw over 100 guests join us for the announcement of sectional winners. The atmosphere was one of excitement and anticipation, as artists and art enthusiasts mingled, discussing the impressive array of works on display. 22 pieces of art was sold over the week raising over $30,000
in funds supporting local artists. Sister Marjorie’s Soup Kitchen received $3,600 in donations from our members and guests as well as administrative support from the Club to ensure they could better serve the community. We wish them all the best in their move from the Oxley Oval Clubhouse to the Hub in Horton street providing assistance to Port Macquarie’s most vulnerable.
The World’s Greatest Shave event, in partnership with Triple M Mid North Coast, was a standout fundraising occasion. Witnessing our members and staff courageously participating in the shave was truly inspiring, with over $14,500 raised for the Leukaemia Foundation. We are proud of the significant impact our Club has made in supporting the community and remain dedicated to continuing these efforts in the future.
Financially, 2024 has been a solid trading year for the Club and I am pleased to report the following excellent financial results. The below results have been trading for the Club in territory we have not traded in before with sustained increases in all departments and I am very proud of the commitment the management and staff have given to see the results in the financials. Our EBITDA profit for the year was $1,780,903 with a net profit of $720,916. The total revenue for the Club was $15,464,019 which was an increase on the previous year of 2.3%. The main trading areas are summarised below:
• Bar Revenue - $3,868,021 up 2.3% on the previous year
• Café Sales - $3,141,785 up 2.7% on the previous year
• Gaming Revenue - $7,291,747 up 2.8% on the previous year
• Keno Revenue - $187,157 up 6.8% on the previous year
• TAB Commissions - $51,216 up 9.7% on the previous year
Memberships have increased during the year with a summary of current memberships outlined below. I was very happy to see a further increase to our membership
base across all membership. Our bowling membership experienced grow in membership due to another local bowling club closing. We have really focused on our members this year and with strong promotions we saw the reflection in our member numbers. The Member numbers for the respective categories as at the end of May are as follows:
• 1 Year Memberships – 5,213 up 10% on the previous year
• 3 Year Memberships – 8,460 up 1% on the previous year
• Life Memberships - 9
• Men’s Bowling Memberships – 280 up 9% on the previous year
• Women’s Bowls Memberships – 97 up 20% on the previous year
Lawn bowls at port City saw some excellent event and results across the year as summarised on the bowls achievements on page 16.
The Club also continued its second year of the Single Tier trial, and I would like to thank Phil Baker for his dedication to the trial and the hard work he put in setting up the Single Tier. I feel the trial has been a big success for the Club and I look forward seeing the Single Tier a success for the Club. I would also like to thank Jill Knight and Kylie Hardy for their commitment and efforts to the bowling club to help the success of our Club.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman, Chris King, and his fellow Directors for their ongoing support. Also, I would like to thank Adam Barrett, Matthew Swain, Katy-Lee Waldron, Rose Willis and the rest of the management team including the amazing staff that have given nothing but their best efforts in the day to day running of the Club. Without the team of great staff, the Club would not be what it is today!
